Harting Han HMC connector claims to deliver 10,000 mating cycles

Feb. 22, 2016 – Harting’s Han HMC claims to be the first rectangular connector designed to deliver “robust, consistently reliable performance through 10,000 mating cycles or more.”

According to the company, the Han HMC is ideal for applications in laboratories and engineering testing facilities where devices and machines are often disconnected and reconnected several times a day. The Han HMC also suits modular machine construction and automatic tooling systems, where there is a need for electrical interfaces that can be plugged in and disconnected, over and over again, without incurring significant wear and tear. The complete series consists of Han B HMC housings (sizes 10, 16 and 24), inserts with crimp connections, gold-coated crimp contacts, a choice of different docking frames, as well as Han-Modular modules that have Han HMC crimp contacts.
